I had a scaary experience too at age 19. I was working outside on the farm on a friggin hot summer day (it was like 35° Celsius) and I was a bit dehydrated but I kept doing my thing. Until a wasp got into my shirt and stang be right in the armpit. I never had problems with stings before so I just went in the house and let my Mom check if the spike was out, then I continued working. Suddenly I felt like something was more wrong than it was before, my field of view startet narrowing at the edges. I stopped the tractor, jumped down and sprinted into the house. When I opened the kitchen door (my Mom and my Sis were at home, nobody else on the farm that day) I just said: "I'm having a real problem, I can't see." Because at that point my sight just burst into pieces, like old cable TVs when they're off program. Had a shock from that bee sting and a few minutes in my heart rate went to practically 0, I could've been able to say a full sentence between the beats. If my Mom and my Sis weren't there that day keeping talking to me and getting me ice cold watered towels and a foot bath I might've died that day... Sry for the essay. That never happened to me again luckily but it's definitely scary as hell to have a near death experience at this age (I had motorbike accidents before but those are nothing compared to this). I hope the MOAR powa babbe guy will appear in vids again regularly. Best wishes to the crew 👍🏻

Glad your back James!! Guys don’t stop doing sad stuff! The history is real and needs to be told, and a lot of younger folks wouldn’t know this history if it wasn’t for you guys!! Keep up the amazing podcast. I’m a fan for life. Pop up up and down headlights!! Ugh!

Glad you're OK James. Now do Lauda VS Hunt already!!!! 🤣 🤣

I'm 31 and guess i lived kind of unhealthy like james did in the past, so it's good to know that i have 3 more years to life.

"Blazing and glazing" so that's what the kids are calling it these days

Y’all need to do one on DeLorean.

Damn hearing a story like this makes me wonder how Ford as a brand survives to this day. And this was before the Pinto too

Nice to see James gettin back Up To Speed again.

It’s possible that Brazil hadn’t adopted the 1 hr time zones in that era. Prior to these time zones, each city would base their local time off when the sun was at its highest using telescopes/observatories to monitor this and drop a time ball at exactly noon to signal noon daily (the origin of dropping the ball on New Years). Unfortunately trains traveling between cities and sharing rails would risk crashing and so the railroads played a big role in standardizing the one hour time zone system in the US. This was in the late 1800s, though. Again, Brazil may have not adopted this system yet or they could be basing the “almost 1 hr” based on the pre-timezone system local solar noon. Thank you for coming to my TEDTalk.

I had to get a pacemaker and defibrillator implant at 25 years old. I've had heart failure four times. I've been shocked by my defibrillator several times. Sucks being young with heart problems.

Please do the story of Mickey Thompson. Also glad to have you back DAD!

Fordlandia being less offensive than the Mustang Mach E, thank you for giving me one good laugh in the end!

Watching Nolan fidget with things is quickly becoming my favorite part of these episodes

Crazy story glad you guys featured this as it show a light on history that people would otherwise forget.

Yes!! That's the journey to the first drop sorted tomorrow love donut podcasts and the channel itself obviously

Best wishes to James!!!💪 And all the best to the whole Donut-Team!!!💪

"I had to spend 2 weeks at home. I got so bored." You caused this JAMES.

I get unbelievably excited each time these are released

Been catching up on donut I missed, and as late as I may be I’m ecstatic that James is healthy💚

I'm surprised there was no mention of the wonderful book, by Greg Grandin, Fordlandia: The Rise and Fall of Henry Ford's Forgotten Jungle City. Other wise, great episode!!

Damn I’m really glad James pulled through. Couldn’t imagine if anything bad happened to anyone at Donut. Stay safe guys and keep bringing us the content!!!

who thinks james and nolan would be better leaders to start a donutlandia

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I for one am quite thankful that James is alive... its pretty cool that he survived....😂

Stay Healthy Pumphrey!!! happy to have you back

Nolan needs a fidget spinner! Also welcome back James!

This is a very real and raw James. I’m the same age as James and I can see the genuine emotion in his face at the beginning of this podcast. He hasn’t really put the character of “James” on in this episode and as a long time fan it’s refreshing to see.

Glad both you boys are here Well glad ure all here

Greatto have you back James! Its only Mo Powa Babeh from here on out

My dads a mechanic so you are more like the car uncle to me, anyways i know im watching these later but I did miss the episodes you were gone on! Glad you’re back and looking much better now! 👍🏽

Best car talk duo ever y’all hilarious to listen to while driving 😂😂

Great episode guys! Great info. Very interested in the subject. @Donut Podcasts, Can I ask what your main source for this info was? Some of this info I have never heard before! Thanks a lot! :)

Im glad you have such a great attitude. Keep being badass man. We love u

hope you get better you and nolan are my fav people from donut you guys are funny and chill👌👌👌👌👌

History aint always good but keep telling these stories alot of people probably never heard some of these stories

I am Brazilian, I live in Brazil, city of Jales. Brazil does not preserve its own memory. it's unfortunate. my name is Eliel-Pina

I had one of those when I was walking around last year with a brain aneurysm, the wrist through the arteries. Nurses didn’t know how to do it well so I got stuck 4 times due to it

Man, James saying "what a bunch of maroons" really brought back some not so great memories of my grandpa

I've been going back through all of your podcasts. The production quality is amazing and the subjects and research behind are brilliant. Thank you so much for this podcast. Literally my favourite of all time.

"I got so bored. I was home for 2 weeks" well...that didnt age well

My dad recently had a scare with a near complete blockage. Jay Bouwmeester had a heart attack on the bench in a blues hockey game the other day and a couple other people I have heard about with surprise heart issues. I’ve been walking around hyper aware of my pulse lately.

i live in a town that use to have a factor whistle that went off at set times, and wildlife didnt seem to care.. saw and still see all sorts of wild animals here... even some that... normally stay higher up in the hills...

Glad you made it to the hospital and are doing better James.

I would really like to see a project mini-series dedicated to designing and building and racing a baja 500 car truck or suv. I know that your show doesn't revolve around my wants and needs, but I'll buy you guys lunch anywhere you want if you do it.

God, do i love your podcasts

Give Nolan a raise!

I also have a stint. Mine is in my aorta. Needed it when I was 16. Hope you're doing well

Some time zones are split by half an hour, and I think theres even a few 15-minute ones.

I had 2 non fatal heart attacks in my life, Im glad to be alive, dont take life for granted, im grateful that it wasn't worse than what it is

Best episode out

Me sitting here wandering why they only got 52k on this channel and not at least 500k or the full 3mil like on donut media

Yo thank god you got there in time. 🙏🏾

James, just gonna point out. Carol Shelby had heart problems in his 30s and he still turned performance into his business. Maybe it’s a right of passage

Great episode... wow ... so Ford has a great "E"lectric car name in their stash of trademarks but all they can think of is the poor Mustang. WOW, I would love to watch a similar episode on Jim Haccket

😲🤩😲😍 Best Wishes too the QB (James)

He is back.

PAST GAS. POD CAST. sounds like WAYNE'S WORLD WAYNE'S WORLD 👍

I already listened to this on Spotify

When they say "you can't a Ford it." How can you afford not to a Ford it!

good on you to talk about healthy diet. proud of you guys.

Time zones are generally 1hr, but there are half hour zones too

you guys need to show example pics of the thing you’re mentioning pleaseeee!!

What a way to close it indeed!!! 😄

Additional info and pictures here: www.businessinsider.com/fordlandia-henry-ford-city-brazil-rainforest-ghost-town-photos-2018-12 "Fordlandia residents were fed a meatless diet, modeled after Ford's vegetarian eating, and were served things like brown rice, whole-wheat bread, and oatmeal. They were pushed to attend poetry readings and English-language-only singing sessions, and alcohol and prostitution were prohibited. Many workers railed against those restrictions, and some established a bar and a brothel on a nearby island. They called it "the Island of Innocence." Ford also built a dance hall in hopes that his Brazilian workers would take to square dancing as much as he had. In fact, Ford hoped that Brazilians working in the settlement would adhere to every one of the societal expectations he set. But ultimately, workers clashed culturally with Ford's American vision of idealism. The tipping point came in 1930 when the dining hall stopped its wait service and shifted to a self-serve cafeteria style."

Newfoundland, Canada runs on it's own specific time zone, Newfoundland Time, and it's actually a half-hour ahead of Atlantic Time. Fun fact

James, we love ya bro, welcome back! health and godspeed! The Donut crew rox!

Timezones are split up by an hour apart on the north and south America side of the globe.there are 4 time zones that differ an hour from each other and 3 hours from east coast to west coast

You know the Jame is great when he can say and old meme and it is still funny

Can we get one on Soichiro Honda?

The guy from Flipping Mastery TV looks exactly like James without glasses tho

I think I'm going to the doctor thank you James

The time zone thing makes sense because time zones are done on the x axis not the y axis across the globe and because Brazil is pretty much directly south of Michigan it is not far off their time zone.

Did James have a classic car movie marathon? Did you watch The Mandalorian?

if i was in the hospital like that Endurance sports car races, indycar and Flo Racing i still wouldn't get caught up

James you are beast

james is a chief!

I had bypass surgery. I had a coarctation of the aorta so the rerouted the artery in my left arm to fix the issue. Now I have a large scar going around Me 👌

Annnnnd that's the last time a new Ford is gonna be on the channel

"Ford realized he was screwed by Brazilian politicians" Brazilians: welcome to the club dude

I'm so sorry to hear your situation bro ❤ Best of luck with your recovery and life moving forwards. Plz take care of yourself, as you 2 as motivated us all watching 👀 😇😇 Down here from 🇦🇺🇦🇺😎❤ Maybe you are no longer the QB, You are becoming MORBUIS the OG

Nolan's ADD is showing. Rubbing the edge of the sticker on the back of the laptop lol

No one is gonna mention NOS?

The Fire Festival of auto manufacturing.

James get well plssss

You know what, I’m gonna say it. NOS shot themselves in the foot. Glad you’re okay, James. Love from Louisville.

Do the Nissan plant in Smyrna Tennessee

DADS BACK!!

Mumbai is in a half hour different timezone than it's surrounding areas. Fun fact.

Nolan! Stop touching the God damn sticker. Its fucking creepy James. Glad to have you back. Stay well

I am going back and starting from the beginning on Past Gas. This may be two of the most painful hours of my life, especially in light of recent events. No wonder Hank the Deuce ends up being such an ass.

Dear James, Did you not only predict the bats that changed our lives with their squeaks, but you also predicted staying at home for two weeks for our health. A true profit and I cannot wait for the next update.

Newfoundland is 30 minutes ahead of EST.

If James has a heart attack, we all have a heart attack.

That outro music cuts in way too soon

Quit playing with your phone!!! Yeah,,, You Nolan!!!

Get this man a fidget spinner

Now I’m wondering how many heart attacks I’ve had? Cause this is all very familiar🤨 Hmm. Sucks not driving?

goddamnit henry

Docking talk just made me shoot coke (the drink) over my desk, thanks guys.

Guess who's back, back again.

what car did you drive to the hospital??
